While the [noparse][noparse][/noparse] option is only meant to stop bbcode from being parsed, it would be useful if it stopped all parsing of text (de-capitalization, removing extra spaces etc) as sometimes you want the extra spaces! for example, the output of fdisk listing partitions contains extra spaces to make the columns lines up! (or putting a very important part of a post in capitals, ie something that might cause data loss)
I think the code tag would be best suited for that purpose e.g. Code: Processes: 87 total, 4 running, 3 stuck, 80 sleeping... 447 threads 19:56:42 Load Avg: 0.40, 0.32, 0.25 CPU usage: 1.66% user, 2.98% sys, 95.36% idle SharedLibs: num = 2, resident = 128K code, 0 data, 0 linkedit. MemRegions: num = 36982, resident = 821M + 11M private, 432M shared. PhysMem: 639M wired, 1984M active, 667M inactive, 3303M used, 2841M free.
